What's not to like about a 6-foot-4, 225 pound middle linebacker that hits and roams the field like Lawrence Taylor and inflicts mental and physical pain like Ray Lewis?

Nothing, really. Plano Prestonwood four-star Mike Mitchell is every coach's ideal player and every opposing quarterback's worst nightmare and has proved it through five games this season.

Mitchell, who is ranked the No. 32 overall player in the nation and was recently was selected to play in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, has amassed an eye-popping 93 tackles, six sacks, 22 tackles for loss and nine forced fumbles through those five contests. In all but one of those games, he didn't even see the field in the fourth quarter.
